Mega Salamence, Mega Beedrill, Mega Swampert and Mega Venasaur all battle a Mega Charizard

Mega Pokemon have arrived in Pokemon GO and they’re basically inaccessible!

August 29, 2020August 29, 2020 Medic 0 Comments blastoise, charizard, kanto, mega evolution, pokemon go, venusaur

Yay! Mega Evolutions have arrived! For Beedrill and the three Kanto Starters! Amazing! And three of them require huge amounts of raids to obtain! Woo! If you can’t tell already, I’m being somewhat sarcastic. While I had sat on my ass and hoped that maybe the data miners were wrong, well, they weren’t. Mega Evolutions aren’t some cool thing to unlock with your best buddy. It’s a grind that involves doing lots of raids. Raid, raid, raid. So, to get your Mega Evolution of choice, you need to do Mega Evolution Raids for the Pokemon you want to Mega Evolve.… [Continue Reading]

Wait, a Brief Period Without Event Spawns?

August 25, 2020August 23, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go

The three Ultra Weeks have just finished in Pokemon Go. Aside from some small make-up mini-events, we have no event right now. The calm before the next storm. But this is actually… kinda weird. We’ve had events for so long that we haven’t really had any time with no weird events going on. There’s no special eggs, no special raids, nothing. It’s… kinda peaceful. We get to see more Pokemon, kinda. When you have an event, spawns are pretty limited. You see whatever is in the event and not much else. The Enigma Event had tons of Staryu spawning, as… [Continue Reading]

Unova Week Was Even More Naff

August 21, 2020August 18, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, ultra week, ultra week unlocks, unova week

I feel like I owe Enigma Week an apology. It was a rather weak event that lasted a whole week. But even Enigma Week had some good stuff in it. Unova Week is just all round bad. What is actually new? There’s four new Pokemon and two new shinies. The shinies are Genesect, a Mythical Pokemon, and Roggenrola, an uncommon Pokemon that is only ever vaguely abundant in partly cloudy weather. Both are good shinies, but the event spawn rates of Roggenrola are mediocre, and Genesect is a Mythical, so if you don’t get one this week, you’re screwed. The… [Continue Reading]

Medic’s Thoughts on Remote Raid Invites in Pokemon Go

August 20, 2020August 13, 2020 Medic 0 Comments pokemon go, pve, raid, raids, remote raid, remote raid pass

You know what’s weird? Despite the ability to remotely invite people to raids being out for a while… I received my first raid invite only yesterday. Most of the time, it’s me who’s at the raid location, trying to invite other people. So, finally, I actually got to see what a remote raid via an invite felt like. It’s… good and bad. I’ll discuss both. The Good The best thing by far is that you can do raids nearly anywhere. As long as someone is at the raid, they can invite up to 5 other people. I’ve been invited to… [Continue Reading]

Enigma Week Was Pretty Naff

August 15, 2020August 15, 2020 Medic 0 Comments enigma week, go fest, pokemon go, ultra week, unown

I’m gonna be honest here. I complained about the dragon week. But the dragon part of the ‘Ultra Unlocks’ from GO Fest wasn’t that bad. At the very least, there was Dratini spawning everywhere, and Bagon was common enough for people to get a Salamence. We also got two Deinos and Gible was a surprise encounter. Enigma Week though was boring as fuck. Nothing special what so ever. What was even in Enigma week? Enigma Week always seems to focus on strange things. We had the return of Unown for the letters U, L, T, R and A. We had… [Continue Reading]

A Casual Player’s Ramble About How Mega Pokemon Won’t Be As Game-Breaking As We All Think

August 11, 2020August 5, 2020 Medic 0 Comments mega evolution, meta, pokemon go, ramble

Mega Pokemon have been confirmed for Pokemon Go for 2020, but we don’t know much about them. We don’t know how we’ll obtain Mega Pokemon or trigger their special evolutions or anything. All we know is that Mega Evolutions are coming “soon”. But, considering how powerful Mega Pokemon are in the main games, players worry that Mega Pokemon will get in the way of everything. That they’ll be game-breaking in some way. Honestly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. In the main games, these Pokemon are monsters. Mega Pokemon are insanely strong in normal Pokemon games. I mean, it’s… [Continue Reading]

Magikarp Community Day – Meh?

August 9, 2020August 8, 2020 Medic 0 Comments community day, magikarp, pokemon go

Magikarp seems like a really strange pick for a Community Day. It was the first Pokemon to get a shiny in Pokemon Go. Yet here it is, having a Community Day. But I suppose complaining isn’t too bad. Ever since I started playing in Pokemon Go, I’ve only come across two shiny Magikarps, one of which got traded (and somehow became lucky) and is a Gyarados now. So a Community Day for Magikarp isn’t that awful. At the very least, it gives people a chance to evolve a Magikarp they’ve had sitting around for ages. At best, you finally get… [Continue Reading]

On Not Playing in the Go Battle League At All

August 7, 2020August 1, 2020 Medic 0 Comments gbl, go battle league, pokemon go, pvp

It seems strange to write about something I’m actively not doing, but I feel like my thoughts may resonate with a lot of people. Despite the second season of the Go Battle League having come out back in June, I haven’t played a single match. I just don’t want to. And the reasons why are obvious. I have no interest in the GBL None at all. I haven’t played a single match this season and I genuinely don’t care. The only time I hit the Battle button is when I’m getting the Battle With Your Buddy heart for my current… [Continue Reading]

How Can A Week of Dragons be SO Underwhelming in Pokemon Go?

August 5, 2020August 3, 2020 Medic 0 Comments dragon event, pokemon go, ultra week

During GO Fest, we unlocked a bunch of ‘ultra weeks’, week-long themed events with specific spawns and Pokemon. The first week is Dragon Week. A week where dragons would be spawning regularly. And another chance at Gible for those who missed out on GO Fest. Yet somehow, despite being an event about DRAGONS, this week has been completely and utterly underwhelming. Not enough dragons. One of the bigger problems with this event is that there’s not enough dragons. Alright, there aren’t many dragons in generations 1-5 of Pokemon. At least, not legendary ones. Off the top of my head, we… [Continue Reading]

On Trying to Decide Who My Next Buddy Should Be – Pokemon GO

August 4, 2020July 27, 2020 Medic 1 Comment buddy, buddy system, mewtwo, pokemon go

After a day of being excited from Team Rocket battles during GO Fest, I finally became Best Buddies with my Tyranitar Wondershadow. It took me just over a month to get to Best Buddies, mostly because I’ve not been as active as normal. Well, outside of events like GO Fest. But I managed to get Wondershadow to be excited after constantly battling with him, and the extra hearts I earned were just enough to push me over the edge and get to Best Buddies. But with Wondershadow the Tyranitar satisfied, I wondered who I should walk next. After all, that… [Continue Reading]
